About Perthshire Highland Games

Perthshire Highland Games Association, with the support of what was then Perthshire Tourist Board, was formed in 2003 to support and assist the organisation and promotion of Highland Games in Perthshire and the surrounding areas.

Fourteen Highland Games covering the length and breadth of Perthshire in the heart of Scotland are now members. The Games season runs from May to September and the PHGA organises Leagues in the Heavy events, Highland Dancing and Junior Piping. The PHGA is a member of Perth & Kinross Sports Council, and also an Associate Member of the Scottish Highland Games Association. Most of our Member Games are also members of the SHGA.

We were fortunate to receive a grant from the SSE for a safety cage for throwing events. Please see the sponsors page for the full story

The AGM and Pre-season meeting will take place in the Mid-Atholl Hall, Ballinluig

Training days are held pre-season and mid-season by established world class athletes. Contact David Colthart (see below) for more information. The PHGA is also involved with the SHGA in the setting up of a training structure for Heavy events from Primary School through to competitive athlete. To further our grass roots training programme, PHGA was awarded a SPORTSMATCH grant for 2009 by the Scottish Sports Council www.sportscotland.org

The PHGA is delighted to announce that Pitlochry Highland Games will sponsor the Heavyweight league; Piob Mhor of Scotland continue as sponsors of the Dancing league

The PHGA are grateful to all our sponsors for their continued support.
